Dr. Fahad Baslaib, the President of the Emirates Cardiac Society, and Chairperson of this Congress added “Although 80 per cent of cardiovascular diseases are preventable, CVDs are the leading cause of death worldwide. It is the leading cause of death in the United Arab Emirates. One in every 4 deaths in the UAE is caused by CVD. These alarming figures are likely to increase due to the high prevalence of risk factors in our society, including diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and sedentary life-styles. We must act now and there is a need for governments, civil society and the private sector to work together to ensure advocacy and raise awareness levels.”
